No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Gu Zijin drove Qin Muxuan to her firm. She had been worried that there would be lots of reporters staying in front of her firm. However, not a single reporter had shown up there. Then she let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Zijin looked to Qin Muxuan,

“Call me when you get off work.”

Qin Muxuan nodded and walked into the firm. When she saw a champagne-colored car parking beside the tree, she got a bit dazed. Qin Feng was on the phone talking with someone right now, so he hadn’t got into the firm yet. As a result, this time he saw Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin together by himself.

The look on Qin Muxuan’s face got a bit awkward. After all, when Qin Feng asked about her family relationship, she just gave an ambiguous answer at that time. Although the media had already exposed her relationship with Gu Zijin, she still felt a bit embarrassed when running into Qin Feng like this because she didn’t want him to look at her differently.

Qin Feng got off his car and greeted Qin Muxuan. The latter nodded slightly,

“Gu Zijin and I were just…”

“Well, I only care about whether there is any mistake in your design. You don’t need to tell me about your love affairs if you don’t want to.”

Qin Muxuan got dazed first, and then looked at Qin Feng with a grateful look. As they both entered the office, Qin Muxuan suddenly remembered something and then said,

“By the way, Yan Yuxiao has already taken away her files.”

Qin Feng was a bit confused since he didn’t remember he had a client called that. Then he assumed that he received so many offers every day and might not be able to remember all the clients’ names.

Therefore, Qin Feng didn’t say anything else.

The work in the firm was very tiring but fulfilling to some extent. At midday, Qin Muxuan got a bit drowsy and slept at the desk. Qin Feng heard her phone ringing. Seeing that she hadn’t got up, he walked over right away.

The words on the screen were Gu Zijin’s name as well as ‘demon king’ in a bracket. Qin Feng couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth, finding Qin Muxuan a bit adorable. Then he knocked on her desk. Qin Muxuan, having woken up from her dream, rubbed her eyes while moaning subconsciously.

“There’s a phone call for you.”

“Oh.”

Qin Muxuan was wide awake right away and answered the call. Gu Zijin’s cold voice came through right away,

“I’ll go to our native home with Xiaobai tonight, do you want to go?”

“Native home?”

Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment. Gu Zijin then explained to her patiently,

“Our family has existed for generations, so we have lots of collateral branches. This time, I want Xiaobai to meet my other relatives.”

The first person that came to Qin Muxuan’s mind was Elderly Lady Gu when she thought of the Gu’s people. It had already been a huge problem for her to face Elderly Lady Gu alone. Qin Muxuan was afraid that she might not even be able to eat or sleep when meeting with more of the Gu’s people. Then she refused him firmly. Gu Zijin didn’t insist then.

When she got off work, Uncle Chen came to pick her up. On the way back home, the look on his face was a bit weird. Normally, he would at least chat with her for a while, but today he seemed to have something on his mind right now.

When they arrived at the Gu’s house, Qin Muxuan said thanks to Uncle Chen. Then the latter looked at Qin Muxuan with a worried look,

“Miss Qin, none of the Gus is at home today, you should be careful.”

None of them was at home? Qin Muxuan remembered that Gu Zijin had told her that only Qin Xiaobai and he would be absent. However, she felt that Uncle Chen had worried too much since she could take care of herself very well.

Then, she walked into the Gu’s house.

After Qin Muxuan turned on the light, she saw a strange old woman sitting on the sofa. Judging from her appearance, Qin Muxuan found this woman not a noble lady. However, the look on the woman’s face seemed quite arrogant and indifferent. Seeing that Qin Muxuan had come in, she chuckled,

“You must be Miss Qin. I used to serve Mr. and Mrs. Gu. A few days ago, I went to the native home of the Gus and have just come back.”

Qin Muxuan had an instinct that this woman was not a nice person. Then she chatted with the woman with a smile for a short while and turned around to enter the kitchen. The woman, frowning, said bluntly,

“I’ve placed the dishes on the table, do you dislike the things I cooked? Even Mr. and Mrs. Gu have never been picky about the dishes I cooked.”

“Sorry, I didn’t know that you have made dinner for me.”

Qin Muxuan felt it was not her fault but still tried to apologize. Meanwhile, that old woman only sat upright like the hostess in the family. After Qin Muxuan lifted the cloth cover on the table, she saw two dishes and one bowl of soup there. Then she got herself a bowl of rice. However, as she took a sip of the soup, she almost spat it out.

The soup tasted like swill, which made Qin Muxuan frown right away. She hadn’t seen the dishes clearly when the light wasn’t on. Now, she found them already a bit sour. Qin Muxuan put down her chopsticks and looked to the old woman,

“Nanny, the dishes and soup taste weird. Is there anything wrong?”

“I’ve cooked for years; how can I make any mistakes? Now what? Miss Qin, is this food not to your taste?”

Qin Muxuan now realized that this old woman was trying to make things difficult for her on purpose. Then she compressed her lips and said,

“I don’t know when I have offended you or who ordered you to do so, but I’m not a person who would hold a grudge. If you can take a step back, I’ll pretend that this never happened.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Qin Muxuan who didn’t want to stir up trouble didn’t bother to speak with that woman anymore. As she was about to go upstairs, the old woman snorted,

“There are only you and me in the room right now. Are you planning to leave all the housework to an old woman like me?”

Qin Muxuan took a breath and turned around,

“You mean I can have a rest as long as I finish the housework, right?”

“That’s right.”‘

Qin Muxuan calmed herself down. She did the housework all the time when she lived in the slums, so she felt there was no problem for her to do it now. Also, Gu Zijin would be back tomorrow, which meant this old woman wouldn’t stay here for long.

After the old woman saw Qin Muxuan starting to do the housework tamely, she let out a sigh of relief. Elderly Lady Gu called this old woman over on purpose to let the latter deal with Qin Muxuan. When the old woman was in the native home of the Gus, she had heard from Elderly Lady Gu that Qin Muxuan was a shrewd girl with lots of evil ideas who was eager to marry Gu Zijin. Then the old woman decided to cut

Qin Muxuan down to size by teaching the latter a good lesson.

Qin Muxuan got a sore back after she had finished the housework since she had already worked all day. The old woman sat on the sofa eating sunflower seeds while bossing Qin Muxuan around,

“What’s wrong with you? Do you think the floor is clean enough? Why it takes you so long to wash the dishes?”

“Since you don’t have the luck to be a lady from a rich family, you should stop daydreaming all day! How dare you think that you deserve our Young Master?”

“Do not think you can do everything as you like now that you have a son. I’m not afraid of you at all.”
